Glimo,

By the way, why were you on your way with a check? Did your Enclave show up today???

Thanks!

I wish! That's just my plan when the vehicle finally arrives. If I can get the VIN# before Sept. 9, I'd be thrilled since we have the $500 AT&T Golf Tournament rebate expiring then.

I never thought I'd be so enthusiastic about a car. With a two month old baby, it's amazing that I still try to find time to post on this forum. Hubby and I almost bought a Volvo XC90 in April but balked due to the reliability issues. Jumping on a first year model is certainly risky, but Enclave just has that irresistible charm. I have fallen so deep .... :beer:

i dont consider the enclave a 1st year model because it is on the same platform as the outlook and acadia and they were the trial run as far as i can see...

Are there any Dealer's that participate on this forum that would be willing to check an order status. I am having difficulty getting any information from my dealer.

I'm not used to being in the dark with a factory order. When I've ordered vehicles in the past, I was always given an order number, and a toll free number or a website that I could use to track my vehicle in production. This is a bit frustrating not knowing...

Thanks!

I just got an email from my dealer and he said that my order has been accepted for production. Does anyone know what code this is and how much longer I have before it arrives?

My son is a GM engineer so I have asked him to see if he can get any info on Enclave production (or lack of). Wll let you know what Ihear.

 

[PLATINUMENCL]

Thanks Colonel, I will wait to see what you find out.

See if this helps you:

Order status codes:
1100 = Preliminary Order (Order passed GM edit tables but dealers has not received allocation to place order)
2000 = Accepted By GM (Dealer used allocation to place order into production)
2500 = Preferenced (Order pulled to the production system)
3000 = Accepted By Production Control (Order input into the production system)
3100 = Sequenced (Order sequenced for Production)
3300 = Scheduled For Production (Order is scheduled into the plant build cycle)
3400 = Broadcast (Order is sent to various build & supplier areas to bring order together)
3800 = Produced (Order is built and VIN# shows in the Dealer Order system now)
4150 = Invoiced (Order is invoiced to the dealer)
4200 = Shipped (Vehicle is shipped to the dealer or point of delivery)
5000 = Delivered To Dealer
6000 = Delivered To Customer

Mine took a week for the production and 10 days from the production to delievery at the dealer and I picked it up the next day.

I've never ordered a vehicle before. Which manufacturers let you do that?

Re: Order Status

From my GM engineer son today when I asked about Enclave productivity "I heard that people in my organization were surveying their Enclave suppliers regarding their capacity. GM IS going to push everything and everybody hard to make and sell more, especially when it's a high-end vehicle like the Enclave. Typically, suppliers are tooled up to a certain level of capacity. In addition they are typically required to be capable of making that target +15% without needing new tooling (only overtime). Based on that, I would say that demand right now for the Enclave is at least 15% higher then o :banghead:riginally projected. It's a good problem to have, but one that can quickly turn people off. I will try to keep you posted." My son is a Quality Assurance Engineer with GM.

Re: Order Status

On my "just posted" post, it should read as 'originally planned'. I don't know where that word "bang-head" came from. Sorry!

FYI - you can always modify your post. Did you do a cut and paste job? The :banghead: should be an emoticon but apparently it got imbedded in the word original.

I ordered PCK and evidently mine got built last week. Expected delivery to dealer is week of 6/25.
I'm attending my dealer's "launch event" tonight so I will see if I get more information.

So what is a "Launch Event"? Is it specifically for Enclave's? Do you have to buy your car from the dealer to attend?

 

[PLATINUMENCL]

Can you make changes to your order anytime? We are wanting to change our color to White Diamond Tri Coat. When is it too late? Or is it ever too late?

 

[kmitchell]

We tried to change our entertainment package when we were at status code 3000. Our dealer told us it was not possible. I read on here elsewhere that once you reach the 3000's with a build week you cant change without losing your spot in line and starting the waiting process over again.

 

[familytraveler]

I contacted our dealer today and he indicated that our order had been "pick up" by GM. I'm guessing this is code 2500. We ordered a CX AWD WDT. Any thoughts on how long the process might take from here? I am still worried about the WDT paint and how long it might take to get through the system.

We placed our order on 2/23/08 and I am already impatient. I can't imaging how those of you who ordered early last year must have felt waiting 3, 4, 5, or 6 months.......

 

[jr7243]

My order was put it on 2/21 (red jewel cxl awd) so it will be interesting to see who's takes longer to get. I didn't ask the dealer for weekly updates, just wanted him to let me know when there was a build week. Hoping for an early surprise but expecting the 2-3 month wait.

 

[Paul_l]

I ordered an CXL AWD the last week in January and the dealer gave me a build date of Feb 25. I expecting delivey the week of March 10. Let you know how that schedule works out.

 

[Gmoney_2010]

im soooo glad the orders are getting through faster!! hopefully they are even quicker once the 2009's start ;D :thumb:

 

[jr7243]

Orders are definitely going through quick now. Mine was ordered less than 3 weeks ago and its now at 3000. Will have a build week in a few days.

 

[BuickGirl!]

I just got word from my dealer that my order was accepted by GM and was bumped to 2000. I put the order in on 3/28, so hopefully from here it will go fast. For a while there I was worried that my order was going to be sitting at 1100 for a long time, so I am very relieved!
